Ekol Pistols

There is a bit of a fuss on the news regarding people converting "starter pistols" to firearms and some confiscation going on???
 
Westley Surplus in NewWest got cleaned out of them. The RCMP say they were involved with converting them to fire real ammo somehow and selling them on the street for $2500!

Somehow this doesnt have the ring of truth for me. But that won't stop many people in this society from believing anything.

How possible is it to make these blank guns go live?

Even if it is possible, you would never want to hold that thing with live ammo in it. I imagine bad things happening, like a gun shaped bomb in your hand.

Use firearms as firearms, and blanks as blanks.
 
Here is something I found by Googling - looks like there are Ekol pistols there too

Lmao they are confiscating blank guns now. This is a fun merry go round at times. :p

Actually I looked at some pics online of the Ekol revolvers, and you could make out that the side plate appeared to be held on with phillips head screws, and the sideplate was really ill fitting. A sure sign of trouble if you tried firing some .38 plus p plus rounds out of one lmao. :D

Regardless of what any poster's intentions are it's not cool posting their name here unless it's already known. I believe you should be gone for that!

Look in his profile, his name is there as plain as day for all the world to see on his homepage. Maybe you are the one who should do some research before regaling us with your opinions. You could also think about the recent bust of starter pistols :rolleyes: in BC and draw your own conclusions about the timing of this thread as well. :jerkit:

Sorry. I did a CGN search on the name and it only popped up on this thread. :cheers:
 
Let's look at the overall picture here. These are also sold as streamer guns in russia where they fire pepper powder rounds and rubber bullets in both 8 and 9mm. I have a Zoraki model with a bar in the barrel that cannot fire the rubber rounds but in russia they have an open barrel thats angled just enough to allow the rubber round to fly. Keep in mind I have a RPAL so am safe and would transport as if its the real thing.
My concern regardless of what the FAQ says on the rcmp site is that the Ekol models are produced to replicate a model(s) that's in current production like the beretta 92. Also keep in mind that the rcmp will look at each reported "replica" on a case by case basis. You all wait and see what happens when these things that aren't regulated by any means are used by a dirtball in the comission of a crime. Then they will be made illegal. Its only a matter of time. They are sold all over the internet in canada they don't even confirm your age. In my opinion these items in the wrong hands are exactly why we have such crappy gun laws in canada and why good honest hunters and sport shooters are treated like criminals. Because stuff like this gets into canada sliding in under "flare gun" when they are actually front firing 9mm blank guns that a average person will have NO clue what they are. http://m.youtube.com/profile?gl=CA&warned=True&client=mv-rim&hl=en&user=switchingtomac

Here is some vids on all the blank guns availble in canada you tell me if RCMP aren't gonna ban these soon? keep in mind to be a flare gun they MUST have the adaptor on. You drop in 1 flare and fire How do you do that with the automatic models? or justify them? While I think they are really cool I am worried that this is just going to give the politicians ammo to make our gun laws worse for all of us. They should be legal to own but MUST be treated as a firearm in the sense that only people with PAL's should be able to buy them on a non restricted purpose and be able to use them for their intended purposes.
First post here too guys love the site thanks for all the great advise here.
